    Balayage in process.
    Disha F.

    I find that they do not use quality products and almost don't know what they are doing. I've never had such a bad hair experience. If its it's one thing that I have learned from this experience, it would be to NEVER buy my haircare appointments through Groupon. It's not cheap and it's borderline scam. No. Not doing it. Ever. Again. During my first wash at home, even before I put the shampoo on, the color was just running out of my hair. Ive never had this experience before. I dont know if Ella, the stylist, just put temporary color on the second time. Initially, the color came out all wrong, which they blamed on the condioner treatment by the way. The person that shampooed my hair lathered the color on my hair like shampoo so she missed a bunch of places. Shouldn't the stylist put the color on my hair? Initially the color was way off and multi- colored. Ella was quick to fix it before I started crying so I was like- ok. Then, the color was still too red and not the dark purple color that I wanted, but, I still looked good because it went with my complexion, so I again didn't freak out and justified it with another-ok. They almost forgot to put the Olaplex treatment, because Ella, the stylist didn't communicate this with the shampooer. But I was curious so I asked, and thats when she told her to put it on. I don't think its my job to remind you what your job is. The olaplex was for only 10 mins but its an additional 45$. Too expensive. The groupon does not cover the cost if color, which they call "toner," which is an additional 60$. However, as of now, I am upset. The color feels temporary and No, I am not using cheap shampoo. The only good thing was the stylist's behavior. She was a nice person. But the shampoo person seemed too amature for her job. All in all, it came out to be expensive for a bad job. I will be going to a full priced professional next time. Thanks for the lesson learned, Evolve Salon! I am not satisfied. I would not recommend this place to anyone for color.

    What the groupon covers

    Definitely not what I asked for as far as length and coloring. After cutting off around 6 inches of hair instead of what he showed me on my shoulder (around 2.5-3 inches). I had an intended photo of what I'd like my hair to look like and it turn absolutely nothing like the photo. When I confronted the stylist, he just kept saying the hair will lighten. I've gotten balayage before it doesn't lighten this much. Also, you can tell where my previous balayage started and ended which quite frankly looks a bit stupid. For just highlights- it's fine even though I'm not happy with the length, it'll grow back- but for the number of hidden fees that are there it's not worth it. I would have just paid a regular salon this cost- $60 for toner $35 additional for hair length/ texture for cut (which I have straight hair that needed just a straight cut with layers) $100+ tax for cut and balayage groupon Over $200 for a length I didn't want and a color that wasn't what I wanted. It would have been one thing if the cut was right and the color wasn't, or the color was right and the cut wasn't, but to pay $200 for neither was money wasted.

    In the process of adding highlights to my hair, my sweater was bleached and damaged. I offered to send a photo of the sweater. The manager told me in any case they are not responsible for any damage incurred.

    Ombre- great experience at Evolve

    I had a great experience at Evolve. The staff is very professional and friendly. The salon itself is clean and well maintained. I got an ombré, deep conditioning and a haircut. The result was exactly what I was looking for: shorter hair, lighter color and seamless transition of the color so it doesn't look too obvious that I colored my hair. Thank you & I would highly recommend.

    Alla was awesome. I never write reviews but I was very impressed. She cut and blew out my hair and it was amazing!! Everyone at the salon was very hospitable and nice!

    Went back to Maria again today and I will never get my balayage done by anyone else! She is so talented and modest. Also, the whole experience was just a little over an hour long. I wish I had a before picture of my orange roots but I unfortunately don't. Definitely try evolve !

    I took a chance on buying a Groupon for a cut, balayage, and hair conditioning. Groupons are always hit or miss so I was nervous. I got Maria as my stylist (and I feel TERRIBLE for not getting the name of the lady who helped her because she was so nice). I have not colored my hair since a terrible blotch job back in 2010. Needless to say I was super nervous. Maria did a phenomenal job on my hair! We talked through what I wanted and I showed her pictures. She explained everything to me upfront so that there were no surprises. I LOVE my new cut and color! It came out exactly how I imagined in my head...which has not been the case for me in the past. I highly recommend Maria for a cut and balayage!

    Worst haircut ever !! My hairs not even, probably because Maria was too focused on coloring two others @ the same time

    How do I make an appointment?

    I want to buy the groupon for a cut and full highlight but how much extra is toner and why isn't that included?? also how much extra is it for hair that is just past shoulder length and on the thicker side?

    Don't buy the Groupon! I got the worst cut of my life from Lulu. A complete, hacked up mess. Toner is extra, Oliplex is extra, and some magic potion they add to the color to 'protect the hair" is extra. I wouldn't go here if I was you.

    Are Rudy and Ella are at Saloon Evolve.?

    Yes

I paid $480 for my appointment and left with hair that looked patchy and not like what we had discussed. While disappointing results can sometimes happen, what bothered me most was the complete lack of communication afterward. I reached out to Masaki on May 13 regarding my concerns and attempted to resolve the issue privately. I never received a response. It has now been about a month, and despite giving plenty of time for a reply, I have been ignored. I did not immediately leave reviews or make public comments because I wanted to give him the opportunity to address the situation directly. Unfortunately, that opportunity was never taken. For $480, I expected a higher standard of work and customer service. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Masaki.

    Kelvin is my now my go-to stylist after my friend recommended me to him. She's also been going to…read morehim for awhile and after my first haircut with him, I can genuinely say it was one of the best haircuts Ive ever had - it was exactly what I wanted and I walked away feeling so happy with the results. I went back recently to bleach my hair and I was so shocked by how good it came out - and in only 4-5 hours! He's definitely a professional and knows what he's doing especially when it comes to dying/bleach/toning and cutting short Asian hair to fit my face shape. I rarely need to tell him to fix or that I'm not satisfied with my hair; I trust his process and he's never failed me.

    I used to love this place but this will be my last visit. Both the front desk and stylist were cold…read moreand unfriendly. I asked for ash brown (which I usually get) but I got a way lighter color than expected and the bleach (he went over the bleach twice) really damaged my hair. On top of that, they charged me for a haircut I never asked for. During the balayage, the stylist cut/thinned (no idea what he did because he never asked me) some of my hair (maybe 10 "snips"?) and they later charged me an additional $70 for the "haircut." This really pissed me off because in the middle of my appointment, I even heard an assistant ask in Mandarin "is she getting a haircut?" and the stylist shook his head. I was really unhappy with my hair that I went to get a hair treatment (for the dry, damaged hair) and toner at a different salon a week later. That stylist even asked "who did your hair?"
